Along thos elines - automated apologies. Ne wStreet Station, an automated announcer saying 'I am sorry for the delay'. What? You are a machine. How are you sorry? rocket polishers.

I watched the programme last night. I was quite disappointed in how it was put together, as it seemed to be a completely one-sided character assassination by a ‘former detective’ who is probably missing his old job and wants his five minutes of fame. The first half of the programme especially was very weak, and seemed to be damning him based on the account of a woman claiming she saw him with a girl who looked 14. In fairness, she could have been 18, and well into it, for all we know. Someone saying that someone looks 14 is not the way to open a programme basically damning a dead man unable to defend himself as a paedophile. The statements from the abused girls did have inconsistencies (a couple claiming he never kissed, wasn’t interested, while a couple claimed tongues down their throats), and while if these statements are true I have every sympathy for the abused girls, we all know that a story like this can get chancers and fantasists out of the woodwork making stuff up, especially if they are entitled to keep their anonymity. The end part with the QC saying that he would be arrested on the basis of this evidence – well yep, I dare say he would be, but an arrest is not a conviction – if that was all the evidence they have, I’m convinced it wouldn’t results in a conviction. Some of the things shown (like the Glitter statement) don’t show Saville in a great light, and on the balance of probabilities, he was probably up to no good and a very dodgy character – but I do think it’s unfair that a lot of the general population are now convinced of his guilt on the basis of a sensationalist ITV documentary (that had more than a whiff of Brass Eye about some of the scenes in it – why are we watching an actress in a park looking at a squirrel during one witness testimony?!). In court, this would not stand up as beyond reasonable doubt, and since the man hasn’t a chance to answer to these charges, I’m not going to convict him in my head just yet. Oh, I do feel sorry for the people involved in his charitable foundation!

Yeah I think we'll be in the mix come December. I just hope the fans stay patient and keep getting behind the team, and we'll be fine.

I would go: Guzan Lowton, Vlaar, Clark, Westwood (if fit) Holman, El-Ahmadi, Delph, Bannan Weimann, Bent If needing a goal late on, stick on Albrighton for Bannan, Zog for Holman and Benteke for Weimann and move to a standard 4-4-2 with wingers,, getting some crosses in to Benteke. EDIT - Completely forgot about Gabby, despite his two goals. It's nice to have options these days!!

Good luck to him. Always seemed a good bloke and always gave 100%

What do you get with executive away travel then? Sounds nice.

I agreed with the ref watching it yesterday,but looking at that, Evans' lunge seems to be even worse! Ah well. Shame.

By 3/4 mile, you mean three-quarters, not thee or four miles I take it (I hope!)? Never been to Southampton before so haven't a clue. I've heard the docks are the place to park, and it's about a mile from the ground?!

Man that mauled by the tigers thing at Hull a few years back really cracked me up. was worth frostbite to laugh at that. I personally can't stand 'attack, attack, attack attack attack', sung by children and idiots at Old Trafford usually.

I hope the girls have to wear ties too.

As I understand it, it wouldn't change the attendance if every ST holder stayed in the pub - tickets sold are what's counted, not people through the turnstile.

No one here go to the Sacred Heart? been taken over recently, and a couple of good outdoor shelters been built, without outdoor bars and food. Salright.

I saw Muse at the Foundry (RIP) near the Alex many moons ago. They were supporting a band called Cay in a free entry gig in the upstairs bar, while Pissing Razors played downstairs. we had to move Matt Bellamy's equipment off the chairs so we could sit down as he'd made a mess. This doesn't help you at all, but it's a nice recollection. The Foundry was ace, and used to serve us when we were 15.

Or more optimistically.... Swansea only have allocation of 2400, and capacity is 42,600, so only 8,700 seats plus (unknown) corporates from 40,200 left. Sell another 2,000 plus 1,000 walk ups, and only 5,000 short of a sellout. Still poor I know, but sounds a bit better than 31k! I reckon about 36.5k on Saturday.

Just had one? Yeah, Proper **** it up an' all. Just seen you have one too - hope it goes better for you!

Job **** interviews. Load of **** bollokcs.

Good on ya. I have the 510 and fill my own cartridges. Swap the battery out every day and stick the other on charge. Just carry a little 5ml juice around with me in case it needs topping up.

16 days off the fags for me since I got my little beauty. Been on the piss quite a few times, and never even tempted to have a fag. Amazing stuff.

I've never met a nice South African.

Indeed.

In that family situation, I'd like to think if I were the the grandparents, I'd let everyone bicker over what they are getting when I'm gone, and quietly write them all out of the will before I snuff it. Leave the house to people like ME who are being nice, and the rest of them get a ton of manure delivered to their drive paid for from the estate.

Well said :!:

Yeah, you might be right about the cake. There probably should be a cake. But sod paying £300 for a 'wedding' cake. I'm sur ethe rpices of things quadruple when you mention the 'W' word. Some Sara Lee gateaus will do Yeah I can appreciate that a good photographer is worth their weight in gold if they do the job properly, especially if it's a grand day with lots of dressing up and lovely moments. Our wedding is gonna be more of a pie, booze and pissed-up-dancing-to-reggae affair though, so probably could do without that many photos afterwards! Samosas are ALWAYS a good idea!
